The Tuesday Twitter Tale : First Contact

Tuesday, 25 January 2011

The Zorn first-contact envoys monitored Earth TV from orbit. Today, X Factor. ‘You’re right,’ said Z’ara. ‘They aren’t ready are they?’






The Tuesday Twitter Tale is a weekly work of tweet-length fiction. It is posted here and on Twitter (along with the #vss - very short story - hash tag).

    In the meantime, perhaps they can help me solve the plot paradox that's keeping me up nights:/

    Thomas,

    I'd suggest travelling forwards in time to the point when you've solved the plot paradox and see what you came up with ...

    That's what I like about you, Simon. You aren't put off by a few pesky impracticalities.

    Is "X Factor" anything like the horrific "America's Got Talent"? If so, I hope the Zorn put us out of our misery posthaste!
